Don’t discern by political spirit, but by Holy Spirit. The vertical, spiritual perspective. The political spirit is the leaven of Herod. The religious spirit is the leaven of the Pharisees. The church is suffering barrenness because of independence. Programmes can’t produce what only God can do by his presence, power and purpose. Independence keeps us out of relationship and in isolation. When we build like this, we protect with religion what we have stored up as resources. What should be a storehouse has become a fortified silo. God wants us to be fruitful and produce!
